Topic: Plugin: Yeelight (Read 480 times)

Although Yeelight support was promised by Vera some months ago, I got impatient and had a project that needed to get done, so I rolled by own. At this point, I probably will not release it officially (through the marketplace and AltAppStore), pending whatever the outcome of Vera's efforts, but in the interim, if anyone else finds it useful, here it is.

VERSION HISTORY2019-01-05: Version 0.1, initial release. Set on/off, brightness, color temperature, RGB color, using Vera-standard Dimmable RGB Light service and device type. SSDP discovery of bulbs (requires that you first enable "LAN Control" on the bulb using the Yeelight mobile app).

There are so many of these lights available, makes me want to wait to see if prices come down substantially.I recently bought a Magic light for a few bucks cheaper than this one that already has an add on with Vera. What made you choose this one?

Yeelight has some other interesting fixtures that I'm sourcing for a house. They all work on the same API. I've had one of their bulbs for a couple of years from an earlier eval. It turns out, the bulb is quite hardy, so I'm going to be using it in an outdoor fixture as both an illuminator and annunciator. They're now part of Xiaomi, and the change in their product line since I bought the bulb is notable.
